Visa refusal for proposed studies

[canakdo]

A friend applied for a postgraduate program to a college, and he has a master degree. The courses in this program is consisting the subjects that he never study and that is why he wanted to take this course. He doesn't have a plan to have any academic career and this postgraduate program was perfect for his need, but the officer refused the application with below reason:

"Application reviewed HOP applying for a study permit. To study at a college; software and information systems testing. HOF has a master's degree in information systems and is currently employed as a senior systems engineer. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies make sense in the context of prior studies, work history and career plan"

He still wants to take this program and doesn't know how to overcome this issue to convince the visa officer. Any help and advice will be much appreciated.

Unfortunately he will not be able to overcome this in the near future. The officer is not satisfied that the proposed studies make sense in the context of prior studies, work history and career plan. There is no much room here for him to convince the officer with the same information he submitted during the application process. He needs to show relevant studies and job to the program he is applying for. Other than that, his chances are very low.

The program he applied and the programs he studied before are all relevant and I think the officer found it not reasonable because of his level of education. He has a master degree and wants to go to a postgraduate program in a college, but the program is relevant.

Not only being over qualified with a masters in IT but also being a senior systems engineer looking to take a course in SW testing , generally at least in my experience anyway a lower level job role than a senior IT systems engineer. Hence the VO probably had doubts about the applicants actual intentions in taking a PG course .

Thank you, much appreciated. So, do you believe it doesn't worth trying with same program again or do you have any suggestion if he applies with same program? Thanks again.
